a) Loan proceeds will be used for the purchase, delivery and
installation of a first class carousel, sign work to complete the

Mall buildings, marketing, promotion and other costs related to
changing the name from Central City Mall to the Carousel Mall.

Central City Company renews the theater lease beyond a month-to-month
tenancy, Central City Company will, effective the date of such renewal,
and contribute $3,000 per month to the Department for additional
security costs.
3. In order to enhance overall Mall security and minimize any problems
that the theater may contribute to relative to its vicinity, the
Central City Company shall contribute $1,000 per month, effective May
6, 1991, with the first partial month pro-rated, to provide additional
security hours over and above those called for in the Mall Security

and to consider any upgrading that might be beneficial to the City and
the Central City Mall, as reported by consultant within a reasonable
period of time. If the Central City Company and the Department
disagree as to the selection of a consultant, or the amount or ~ent
of repairs and upgrading, the matter(s) at issue shall be submitted to
an independent arbitrator for a decision, subject to the rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The Central City Company agrees to
pay for one-half (1/2) of the cost of the consultant.

Councilwoman Miller requested the area encompassing Lynwood Street,
from the wash to Del Rosa Avenue through to Sterling be included by
interlineation.
Dennis Barlow, Senior Assistant City Attorney, suggested that Council
direct staff to bring back an amendment to include the streets since this was
the second resding of the ordinance.
Chairman W. R. Holcomb explained that this item was an incentive to
have residents and businesses of major thoroughfares to landscape their
property. The Development Department will absorb up to fifty (50%) of the
costs. As information he noted a current ordinance states, "if a commercial
property is vacated for more than six (6) months, it cannot be reopened
wi thout meeting the current landscaping requirements," which means the
occupant would be responsible for 100% of the costs. Mr. Henderson read off
the landscape program's street names for pUblic-information.

Discussion ensued regarding tax revenues generated; exemption of
licensures and permits fees, and; year-round security and maintenance costs
incurred by the City. The police report submitted reflected only costs
relative to the annual National Orange Show. A detailed report of the costs
incurred for the operation of security and maintenance services on a year
round basis was requested. Commission Member Estrada requested this item be
continued so that she could meet with Mr. Bruce Varner, President of the
National Orange Show.
Chairman Holcomb felt the City receives more than what is expended and
reported that approximately $500,000 is received per year from the wagering
facility the parking lot is used free-of-charge for driver training of refuse,

explained the actual positions were previously approved by Commission!
Council. Those positions were being reshuffled to report to the Economic
Development Agency Administrator instead of the Development Department's
Executive Director. The only significant change was the addition of the
Mobile Home Rent Board Director to the Economic Development Agency staff
instead of the City's staff.

Discussion ensued regarding the impact on the administrative budget;
position and functions of the Homeless Services Analyst, and; probable legal
ramifications of the Mobile Home Rent Board Coordinator becoming an EDA

Kenneth 3. Henderson, Executive Director, reported on the activities
and functions performed by the contract position of Homeless Services
Analyst. A Quarterly Report was available for review delineating all the
activities performed since the first quarter of the position's tenure. He
justified the need for the position on a permanent basis as it related to the
Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP) and other activities approved by the
Council/Commission. A lengthy discussion followed regarding the salary and
benefits of the position on a contract level and employee level.

Chairman W. R. Holcomb opened the Public Hearing.
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, summarized the staff report
for the Council.
Chairman W. R. Holcomb called for any members of the public hearing who
wished to be heard to step forward.
1. Janet Revnolds. reuresentiDJl San Bernardino Unified School District
(SBCOSD)
Ms. Reynolds spoke in favor of the Emmerton School Project which
encompasses the students residing in the Highland and Arden/Guthrie area. She
explained the program was designed to go into the community and interactively
intervene to try to bring some stablization and some sense of neighborhood and
community to that area. SBUSD worked closely with various agencies desiring
to participate in the program. The County's Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) process allocated $20,000 based on the premise that the City would
match same funds. Since the program was denied the county's funding is
insufficient. Ms. Reynolds appealed to the Commission to assist in moving
forward with the project as it is very valuable and would enhance the City and
the community in the longrun.
o
Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director, said the reason for denial was
because that area did not meet CDBG eligibility criteria based upon 1980
census data. The County informed SBUSD that they have the same rules and
guidelines as the City, but their grant was approved based on the AFDC and
free lunch count of the students attending Emmerton School.
Councilwoman Miller asked the Council to support this project.
Chairman Holcomb questioned the eligibility threshhold since the County used
the same guidelines and approved funding based on those findings. He was in
favor of the project because of leveraging money Which was matched dollar for
dollar by the County. The County cODlllitted the funding When the area wall
unincorporated, currently the area is 100~ City. He felt the program was
critically needed to break the blighted syndrome of the area.
Lengtby discussion ensued regarding SBUSD's commitment and
participation into the project relative to personnel, facilities and general
operation of the program.
Alternative means to fund the project was also discussed. The Mayor
suggested taking the funds from Project Home Run and funding it with Twenty
Percent (20~) Set Aside funds, switch it over, then take that funding and give
it to SBUSD. Mr. Henderson responded that the project was meritorious, but
during the screening of this proposal HUD was simultaneously monitoring the
City'S CDBG program. The program guidelines and proposal were reviewed with
HUD. Subsequently a letter from HUD noted serious reservations about the
project which could not be resolved in time for the Committee to complete its
deliberations. So if the Mayor and Common Council desired to fund the
o project, another source other than the Block Grant is recommended.

Ms. Frank spoke in support of the Emmerton Project. She believed the
program offered a wonderful opportunity for those people concerned with
youths-at-risk to work closely together in a holistic approach. This is a
pilot program which would demonstrate the efficacy of such a program.
3. Herb Fischer. 635 l!Iorth Road. Suverlnt-dent of Colton Unified School
District svea1rin. in BUDDOrt of the -erton Proiect
Mr. Fischer stated the San Bernardino Unified School District (SBUSD)
recently went through the process of taking $12.5 million of programs away
from students. Furthermore, the Board of Education has been advised to find
another $2,000,000 in case more dollars is needed. SBUSD believed in the
project so much that there has been no discussion by anyone in the district to
sidetrack the proposal, although it would cost additional resources within the
school system to do it.
4. Bill Huh. Director from Proiect Home Run. 150 Bast Olive Street. Colton
Introduced himself to the Council and expressed his appreciation of
input and pleasure of working with the Council in the future.
5.
Sharon 1:. Sa........1ri. Executive Director. Inland Area l!Iative American
Association (IAlIAA
Requested the Council to reconsider the decision to deny a request for
IANAA funding. She stated there were approximately 15,000 Native Americ8IUI in
the City and outlying areas, and believed the Council has some responsibility
to funding the American Indian project. IANAA has come before the Council for
three years now and she does not know what else-has to be done to attain
funding. She reported that services are provided to anyone walking through
the door, whether or not they were Native Americ8IUI, but the target population
is the Native American.
Mr. Henderson said the problem was within the Bylaws of the
organization. Once a proposal is received, the Committee makes a
determination with assistance of staff in terms of eligibility or
ineligibility. There may be additional information that might mitigate some
of the preliminary determinations made by the Committee, but the determination
as to eligibility and ineligibility is bssed upon the information contained in
the proposal itself, including the Bylaws. The Bylaws actually say services
shall only be provided to those of American Indian ancestry. Furthermore, he
explained denial was for the same reason over the last three years. Federal
regulations do not allow a non-profit recipient of CDBG financing and public
services to limit the opportunity of the program services to a particular
ethnic group.

Councilwoman Estrada asked if the Agreement with San Manual tribe
provided for monies to be forwarded through that program and used for
community-based organizations. She suggested that the Agreement be examined
to see if monies had been allocated for community organizations. Councilwoman
Estrada requested statistics of the ethnicity of the people served.
Mr. Henderson noted at present the only BUD funds available for an
organization such as this was the Secretary's Discretionsry Fund which would
potentially allow a project like this to be funded, but entitlement cities or
counties cannot use the CDBG monies to fund an organization that would
restrict services of the organizations.
Chairperson Holcomb stated there was no argument concerning eligibility
and recommended Ms. Sarnowski appeal the issue of eligibility with BUD.
Chairman W. R. Holcomb called for any other members of the public who
wished to be heard. There were none.
Councilwoman Estrada made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Miller to
directed staff to research the question of the Agreement with the San Manual
